"BEACH ROAD STROLL" 20x10 oil on canvas board

Summer is coming.  Schools are almost out.  The sun seems to be breaking through the June gloom.  I love the anticipation of summer.  It just says get out of the house and go enjoy the scenery.

I am really enjoying this format for composing my paintings.  I am having fun suggesting figures and form.  This painting left me feeling pretty good.

Sunday in the Park 8x10 oil

Today is the day after the 4th of July and what a beautiful day it is.  I went out to paint...YES!  I am a lucky girl.  My dear husband encouraged and came along on my paint out.  It was wonderful.  He walked the dry bed and took lots of photos for me to use for painting, read a bit  and then put his feet up and took a nap.  I have got to say it was very nice of him to come along.  What a peaceful day.  

Not being out for a while I decide to try and take it a step at a time.  I scraped a lot of paint off with my palette knife and used it more than ever before, which was fun.  I did a second small 6x6 that I will post next.  Well back to work tomorrow.  I hope to get Karin Jurick's challenge done this week...will see.
